2. Son of Charlie Chan, an American Chinese character popular in 1930s movies...even if generally played by a known asian actor like Sidney Greenstreet. Although Keye Luke played a similar character in some movies around the same time.

3. A 1940s-1950s milquetoast-esque movie character.

4. Flash Gordon's friend and go-to science guy, usually working against the Merciless Ming, ex-emperor of Mongo. (And boy, are some of those old serials dreadful, though not always bad enough to be good.)

It ran from '41 to '51 and was created by Ed Gardner the actor who played 'Archie'. Shirley Booth, Gardners real-life first wife played man crazy 'Miss Duffy'. Booth played the well known Hazel Burke live-in house keeper to the Baxters, on the long running TV sit com Hazel.

1. Archie the Bartender: Character of Jackie Gleason. Worked at _____'s Tavern and _____ was never in. The name of the tavern won't come to mind unless I cheat.

2. Number one son: Oldest son of Charlie Chan (fictional Chinese detective of movies)

3. Mr. Peepers: Title character of the television show of the same name. I never saw the show, so I don't remember much more.)

4. Dr. Zarkov: Flash Gordon's technical wizard. From the comics and later, movie serials. The serials were on TV in the 60's. Buster Crabbe played Flash Gordon. I don't recall who played the other characters.

1. Lambchop the original sock puppet, was the inspiration of Shari Lewis first appeared on TV's Captain Kangaroo in 1957. Shari and Lambchop had their own show for a number of years in the '60's and went on to even more fame on PBS as a 5 time Emmy winner. Sadly, Sheri passed from uterine cancer in 1998. Lambchop lives on through Sheri's daughter Mallory.

2. The Beanry? or Joe E. Ross the actor who played the part on Car 54 Where are You? I never watched that show.

3. Wow!, your dredging up some dim memories. Buffalo Bob Smith, Howdy Doody and Phineas T. Buster are some of the other characters clinging to the cob webs.

4. You had Rochester of Jack Benny fame on last week and now you have Benny's 'announcer' Don Winslow, or was it Don Wilson?

I think you should put this exercise on topic like Floating Chamber. A facinating story of the inventor. There was even a movie staring Jimmy Stewart, it plays occasionally on late nite tv.
